Goodbye, Truist Bank 

The bank left town on July 28th.

*****************

There's an odd man out.

Flying into HIA

The Elks on a clear day.

Peace

As the sign says 

DO NOT PUSH 

That flag is still out there on the duck blind.

Police activity 

Sloppy work on the Walnut Street project 

Why should firefighters have to put up with this?

*****************

Chairs blocking parking spaces.

(Maybe someone was moving.)

But one of the chairs migrated up to the corner. 

The entrance to Columbia River Park was blocked for two days due to railroad work.

And here are the workers . . .

*****************

Workers installed a 9/11 National Memorial Trail sign at the Veterans Memorial Bridge plaza on Friday morning.

COLUMBIA 

Columbia says no.
